Many people have expressed interest in helping out our thal friends in Bangladesh. This is now possible through the Bangladesh Thalassemia Foundation. I have known Dr Abdur Rahim (Dr Robin) since 2006. His constant dedication to the thals of Bangladesh is inspirational, but they need more financial help to do the job. Bangladesh is not a wealthy nation and a government study showed that it would consume at least 10% of the entire health budget of Bangladesh to treat all the thals there. This, of course, is not possible for a government. Our thal friends in Bangladesh need more funding and can use all the help they can get. Now you can donate directly to help.
